But he was the one hitting the girl...I only took him to the ground and made sure he stayed there.

not sure if its legal but I have a friend that is a Marine and one that is an army ranger, they have taught me a few moves.

I still don't get it. How are straight white males being discriminated against on a daily basis?

On another thread, I was surprised to learn that a lot of straight white guys feel that they feel like a minority or that society is biased against them.

Do straight, white males really face discrimination? If so, how? Please give examples.
This OP doesn't make any sense at all.

Obviously all males are in the minority. Thats the first thing.

Obviously, Whites are a minority race as well. That means White men are a double minority.

It's not something we "feel". It is a fact. Do you deny that White men are a minority?

Another (beep) post that suggest whites males are suffering discrimination to the point it's affecting their lives. We must call on Congress to pass a bill to protect white males! LMAO!

If you think I should give simpathy to a white male who faces "discrimination",it's not gonna happen. What NONSENSE!
Take a walk in my shoes first, and then let's compare notes!

I never thought I would live to see the day when White Males cry VICTIMS in this country. Yet again, I do. History never stops making itself this century!

In short they are a burden to whatever team they are assigned to. Add to this we are expected to get them trained and promoted ASAP demonstrated ability is not a factor.
That discriminates against those who can actually do the job and do it well.
As for the teeny 5%? If its not such a big deal why do they need it? If they are equally skilled why do they need it?
You can try to justify discrimination all you like but that will not make it right.


My last job in PC Corporate America had me (an auto mechanic) working for a black manager who had no idea what I was talking about 99% of the time. This, never the less, in no way deterred him from shooting me down because he felt that I, an ASE certified master mechanic and advanced provability specialist with many years of dealership experience and factory training, didn't know what he knew. A few months after I left, they closed down. I have to assume because they simply couldn't keep mechanics. That's AA in action.
